flatlands
Horizon-to-horizon prairie
Flatlands are areas of level terrain with minimal elevation changes—plains, prairies, or low-lying coastal regions.
The term often carries connotations of monotony or emptiness: Miles of flatlands stretched to the horizon.
In urban contexts, flatlands may refer to lower-elevation neighborhoods as distinct from hillside areas.
